Talking to a Stranger

A familiar corner, a familiar seat, and a familiar face. A local resident takes his seat in his favourite bar as he has for decades. He talks to the face who he hasn't seen in as many years. However while the corner is real, the bar may not exist, nor his friend. Memories, real and imagined, intersect the past and the present.

This painting is unframed. The edges are painted blue with a gold stripe. Ready to hang or frame.

I paint streets, landscapes, portraits and other things that capture me.

My artist journey began with an early passion for painting before following a career in television and film where I've created soundtracks for many of Australia's best known television shows and award winning productions. In recent years I've returned to my original love of painting.

I’m drawn to the often overlooked moments of emptiness or disquiet within urban environments and aim to evoke some response or humour through much of my work. I also like to explore at the imbalance, or sometimes tension, between the constructed and natural worlds.
